recipe for a hippopotamus sandwich
a hippo sandwich is easy to make.
all you do is simple take
one slice of bread,
one slice of cake,
some mayonnaise,
one onion ring,
one hippopotamus,
one piece of string,

and now for the dancing pants,
doing their fabulous dance.
from the seat to the pleat.

with no legs inside them.
and no feet beneath.

so just start the music
and give them a chance--
let's have a big hand for the wonderful, marvelous,
super sensational, utterly fabulous,
talented dancing pants!

turtle
our turtle did not eat today,
just lies on his back in the strangest way
and doesnt move.
i tickled him
and poked at him
and dangled string in front of him,
but he just lies there stiff and cold
and sort of staring straight ahed.
jim says hes dead
"oh no," says i,
"a wooden turtle cannot die!"
